＜Composition of Organic Money＞

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of money C for playing in an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a side view of money C for playing in an embodiment of the present invention. The money C for gaming has a designated color layer 501 characterized by a designated color in the middle, and both sides of the middle designated color layer 501 in the thickness direction (top and bottom in Fig. 3) have a common color characterized by a common color. A color layer 502 is provided, and stripes (in the thickness direction) are formed on the side surface.

An RFID tag 503 is inserted as a wireless tag between the designated color layer 501 of the currency C for play and one common color layer 502. In the RFID tag 503, as currency information of the game money C, for example, individual identification information for individually identifying (uniquely specifying) the game money C and value (type) information are stored in the RFID tag 503. there is. A transparent layer 504 is formed on the outermost layer of the money (C) for organic use. That is, the currency C for gaming has a designated color layer 501 as an intermediate layer, a common color layer 502 sandwiching the designated color layer 501 from both sides, and a transparent layer 504 as the outermost layer on both sides.

The money for organic use (C) is made by overlapping five elongated elongated plastic materials (transparent layer 504, common color layer 502, designated color layer 501, common color layer 502, transparent layer 504 in this order), At that time, RFID tags 503 are placed at predetermined intervals between the designated color layer 501 and one common color layer 502, and these five layers of plastic material are thermally compressed, and then one organic layer is formed. It is formed by punching out a round or rectangular shape by a press or the like so that one RFID tag 503 is included in the money C. When punching with a press, the dimensions of the die and punch of the die for punching are designed, and R processing (rounded corners) is applied to the end of the transparent layer 504 of the outermost layer.

Alternatively, the transparent layer 504 may be formed by applying varnish to the surface after thermocompression bonding of three layers comprising the specified color layer 501 and the two common color layers 502 . In addition, the specified color layer 501 and the two common color layers 502 do not have to be separate members, and after being integrally formed, the specified color layer (and common color) is applied to the side surface by inkjet printing or the like to form the specified color layer ( 501) and a common color layer 502 may be formed.

In the designated color layer 501, the value (type) of the money C for organic use is expressed by color (specified color). That is, by making the designated color layer 501 a different color (red, green, yellow, blue, etc.) for each value of the game money C, the designated color layer that is optically read from the side of the game money C ( By confirming the color of 501), it is possible to specify the value (10 points, 20 points, 100 points, 1000 points, etc.) of the money for abandonment (C). In the common color layer 502, a common color (common color) is assigned to the money (C) for games having different values. The common color is preferably a color that is lighter than any specified color, and is white in the present embodiment.

Code information 505 indicating currency information of the money C for playing is further written on the side surface of the money C for game use (specifically, the common color layer 502 on the side surface). This code information 505 expresses information by arranging a plurality of marks (which may be called marks, or square marks in the present embodiment). While the designated color layer 501 represents information (the value of the currency C for organic use) in color, the code information 505 can be said to be notation information because it expresses information with a mark marked on the side. Other examples of notation information include a plurality of character strings, numeric strings, barcodes, and the like.

The code information 505 of the present embodiment is repeatedly displayed at a cycle of 60 degrees in the circumferential direction of the money C for abandonment. As a result, the code information 505 includes complete code information 505 within a range of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction, even when the side surface of the discarded money C is observed from any direction in the circumferential direction. In addition, the repetition period of the money (C) for abandonment is not limited to 60 degrees, and it is only necessary to repeat the marking at least three times at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

Code information 505 is written in invisible ink. In this embodiment, an infrared absorbing ink (specifically, carbon black) that absorbs infrared rays is used as the invisible ink, and printing is performed by inkjet printing. Since only the printing portion of the code information 505 does not reflect infrared rays, by photographing the side of the discarded money C with the infrared camera 225, the code information 505 is raised. In addition, the infrared camera 225 may be equipped with an infrared lamp to irradiate infrared rays to the side of the game money C to be imaged, in order to clearly raise the printing portion.

Invisible ink is not limited to infrared absorbing ink, and may be, for example, an infrared reactive ink that emits fluorescence in response to infrared rays or a UV ink that emits fluorescence in response to ultraviolet rays. In the case of using UV ink, an ultraviolet camera is used instead of the infrared camera 225, and a black light for irradiating ultraviolet rays to the side of the organic money C is used to cause the UV ink to emit fluorescence.

Further, on the organic currency C, a mark (mark) (m') is formed on the surface (X) of the common color layer 502 by UV ink or carbon black ink. This mark (m') indicates the authenticity of the money for organic use (5), and when irradiated with ultraviolet (or infrared) light, the mark (m') becomes visible, and the combination of its shape and number indicates authenticity. A transparent layer 504 is thermally pressed or coated (coated) on the outermost layer so as to cover the printing 506 (100 points, etc.) or mark (m') for identifying the organic field on the surface, but this transparent layer 504 is embossed Processing or varnish processing is performed to prevent the organic money (C) from adhering to each other or to improve sliding.

The edge of the outermost transparent layer 504 subjected to printing 506 (100 points or the like) is subjected to R processing (R), and in the punching step of coin for organic use (C), the surface of the common color layer 502 It is deformed and prevented from appearing on the side. In addition, the sharp edge of the game money (C) is prevented from damaging the rest of the hand or other game money (C). The specified color layer 501 may be formed of a single colored layer or a plurality of colored layers. Furthermore, a metal or ceramic may be embedded in a layer among the layers of the designated color layer 501 to increase the weight. Further, the RFID tag 503 may be cut out in a part of the specified color layer 501 or may be embedded in a space formed between the specified color layer 501 and the common color layer 502.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of an image obtained by photographing a plurality of discarded coins C accommodated in the case 100 with an infrared camera 225 and a visible light camera 226. As shown in FIG. Case 100 in this case may be a two-tiered chip float (in a two-tiered chip tray, particularly a movable upper tray portion) or a chip tray that holds the substitute currency C for play on a game table. . Even if the coins C for gaming are stacked in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 4 within the case 100, the infrared camera 225 and the visible light camera 226 can capture the code information 505. In addition, by counting the designated color layer 501 in the vertical direction, it is possible to count the number of cards for playing money C. In addition, even if it is a two-stage system, it becomes possible to photograph the side surfaces of all discarded coins C accommodated in case 100 by infrared camera 225 and visible light camera 226 by unfolding each stage.

In the present embodiment, the code information 505 is represented by arrangement of marks (m) in multiple rows and multiple columns. 5 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of code information 505. As shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 5, the upper and lower signs (m) form a pair to constitute one code element. In the example of Fig. 5, one piece of code information 505 is composed of 10 digit code elements. As shown in Fig. 5, there are four patterns of one code element composed of pairs of upper and lower indicators (m), and since four types of information can be expressed with one code element, a code composed of 10-digit code elements Information 505 can express 4 to the 10th power type of information. The letter Y next to the 10-digit code element is a direction discriminating mark (Y) for discriminating the direction of the code information 505.

<Configuration of read information>

Fig. 12 shows information obtained from one case 100 by a barcode reader 228, an RFID reader 221, an infrared camera 225, and a visible light camera 226 in the inspection apparatus 200, respectively. It is a drawing showing an example of contents. From the RFID reader 221, English character strings stored in the RFID tags 503 incorporated in the plurality of coins C for abandonment are read. From the infrared camera 225, a sequence of numbers, which is marked information marked on the side, is read. Also, from the visible light camera 226, the color of the side surface is read. The identification unit 230 analyzes (an image of) the sequence of numbers read from the infrared camera 225, identifies the numbers, specifies information consisting of the sequence of numbers, and reads the image of the side surface read from the visible light camera 226. Specifies the specified color from

Here, although notational information on the sides of the plurality of money C for abandonment and information on the specified color can be obtained according to the order in which the money C for abandonment in the case 100 is arranged, a plurality of RFID tags ( The information obtained from 503) cannot be obtained in the order of the abandoned currency (C). That is, it is not possible to specify from which game currency C the information of the RFID tag 503 is obtained.

＜Pass/failure judgment method＞

Next, a method of determining pass/fail in the computer 222 of the inspection apparatus 200 will be described. As described above, the identification unit 230, based on the reading result of the RFID reader 221, the money information stored in the RFID tags 503 of the plurality of abandoned money C accommodated in the case 100 is specified, the infrared image obtained by the infrared camera 225 is analyzed to specify currency information indicated by the notation information, and the color of the specified color layer 501 is specified by analyzing the visible light image obtained by the visible light camera 226. The judging unit 231 determines authenticity/damage or number of copies for each value based on these pieces of information, and determines whether the case 100 passes or fails. In the following description, the currency information stored in the RFID tag 503 is referred to as first currency information, and the notation information given to the side surface of the game currency C and the color information of the specified color layer 501 are referred to as second currency information. is called information.

(1st pass/fail decision method)

In the first pass/fail determination method, as shown in Fig. 13, the first money information and the second money information in the same game money C are set as the same information. In the example of Fig. 13, the first currency information is information consisting of individual identification information and value information of each currency C for abandonment, and the same content as this is displayed on the side in the form of notation information as second currency information. there is.

The RFID reader 221 reads the first currency information from the RFID tag 503 of the money C for game play and outputs it to the identification unit 230, and the infrared camera 225 reads the money information for game game C By taking a picture of the side, the identification unit 230 specifies the second currency information. In this case, in the identification unit 230, the correspondence between the plurality of first currency information and the plurality of second currency information is unclear.

The determination unit 231 compares the plurality of first currency information and the plurality of second currency information obtained by the identification unit 230, and when they completely correspond one to one, that is, all the first currency information , in the case of matching any second currency information without overlapping, the plurality of first currencies obtained in the identification unit 230 by determining the plurality of discarded coins C accommodated in the case 100 as pass When the information and the plurality of second currency information do not completely match, the plurality of discarded coins C accommodated in the case 100 are determined to be disqualified.

As a case where the plurality of first currency information and the plurality of second currency information obtained by the identification unit 230 do not completely match, a case in which any abandoned currency C accommodated in case 100 is counterfeit; , a case in which the RFID tag 503 or side surface of a certain game money (C) is damaged is conceivable. In other words, the judging unit 231 judges the authenticity or damage of all the money C for game game existing in the case 100, thereby determining whether the plurality of money C for game game held in the case 100 has passed or failed. judge

(Second pass/fail decision method)

Also in the second pass/fail determination method, as shown in Fig. 14, the first money information and the second money information for the same game money C are the same information. In the example of Fig. 14, the first money information is information on the value of each money C for game play, and a designated color is assigned to the designated color layer 501 on the side as second money information for each money C for game play. there is.

The RFID reader 221 reads the first currency information from the RFID tag 503 of the money C for game play and outputs it to the identification unit 230, and the visible light camera 226 reads the money information for game game C is photographed, and identification section 230 analyzes this image to specify second money information (color of designated color layer 501).

In this case, in the identification unit 230, the correspondence between the plurality of first monetary information and the plurality of second monetary information is unclear, and some of the plurality of first monetary information overlap each other, and The second currency information also overlaps with each other. In addition, in the first currency information and the second currency information in Fig. 14, "r" represents red, "b" represents blue, "y" represents yellow, and "g" represents green, respectively.

The determination unit 231 determines the number of each specified color (red, blue, yellow, green) in the plurality of first currency information obtained by the identification unit 230 and each designation in the plurality of second currency information. When all the numbers of colors (red, blue, yellow, green) match, it is determined as pass, and when they do not match, it is determined as disqualified.

If the number of each specified color in the first currency information and the number of each specified color in the plurality of second currency information do not match, a certain abandoned currency C accommodated in case 100 is counterfeit. case, or a case where the side of a certain game money (C) is damaged. That is, the judging unit 231 judges the number of copies for each value of all the money for game play C that exists in the case 100, thereby determining whether the plurality of money C for game game accommodated in the case 100 is acceptable or not. to judge

(The 3rd pass/fail decision method)

In the third pass/fail determination method, as shown in Fig. 15, the first money information and the second money information in the same game money C are different pieces of information. In the example of FIG. 15 , English character string information is stored as first currency information in the RFID tag 503 of the game money C, and a number string is displayed as second money information on the side of the game money C. information is indicated.

The RFID reader 221 reads the first currency information from the RFID tag 503 of the money C for game play and outputs it to the identification unit 230, and the infrared camera 225 reads the money information for game game C By taking a picture of the side, the identification unit 230 specifies the second currency information. In this case, in the identification unit 230, the correspondence between the plurality of first currency information and the plurality of second currency information is unclear.

In the usage management device 303, first money information and second money information are stored in association with the case identification information of the case 100. The determination unit 231 compares the plurality of first currency information obtained by the identification unit 230 with the plurality of first currency information related to the case identification information of the case 100 stored in the usage management device 303. So, it is judged whether or not they correspond completely on a one-to-one basis. In addition, the determination unit 231 determines the plurality of second monetary information obtained by the identification unit 230 and the plurality of second monetary information related to the case identification information of the case 100 stored in the usage management device 303. are compared, and it is determined whether or not they completely correspond 1 to 1.

The determination unit 231 determines that the plurality of first monetary information obtained by the identification unit 230 and the plurality of first monetary information related to the case identification information of the case 100 stored in the usage management device 303 are 1 Corresponds completely on a one-to-one basis, that is, the plurality of pieces of first currency information obtained in the identification unit 230 are related to the case identification information of the case 100 stored in the usage management device 303 without overlapping. A plurality of pieces of second money information that match any of the plurality of first currency information items and are related to the case identification information of the case 100 stored in the use management device 303 and the plurality of second pieces of money information obtained by the identification unit 230 In the case where the second currency information of is completely corresponding to each other on a one-to-one basis, that is, a plurality of pieces of second currency information obtained from the identification unit 230 are stored in the usage management device 303 without duplication ( 100), if it matches any of the plurality of second currency information related to the case identification information, the plurality of discarded currencies C accommodated in the case 100 are judged to be pass, and among the plurality of first currency information If any of them do not match or any of the plurality of pieces of second currency information does not match, the plurality of discarded coins C stored in the case 100 are determined to be disqualified.

If any of the plurality of first currency information does not match the stored information or when any of the plurality of second currency information does not match the stored information, any abandoned money accommodated in the case 100 ( A case where C) is counterfeit or a case where the RFID tag 503 or side surface of a certain game currency C is damaged is conceivable. In other words, the judging unit 231 judges the authenticity or damage of all the money C for game game existing in the case 100, thereby determining whether the plurality of money C for game game held in the case 100 has passed or failed. judge

(The 4th pass/fail decision method)

In the 4th pass/fail determination method, as shown in FIG. 16, the 1st money information and the 2nd money information in the same money C for game play are different information. In the example of Fig. 16, the RFID tag 503 of the money C for game storage stores English character string information as the first money information, and the designated color layer 501 on the side of the money C for game game stores the second money information. As currency information, it is colored in a designated color according to value.

The RFID reader 221 reads the first currency information from the RFID tag 503 of the money C for game play and outputs it to the identification unit 230, and the visible light camera 226 reads the money information for game game C The side of the image is photographed and output to the identification unit 230, and the identification unit 230 analyzes the photographed image to specify the designated color as the second money information. In this case, in the identification unit 230, the correspondence between the plurality of first currency information and the plurality of second currency information is unclear.

In the usage management device 303, first money information and second money information are stored in association with the case identification information of the case 100. The determination unit 231 compares the plurality of first currency information obtained by the identification unit 230 with the plurality of first currency information related to the case identification information of the case 100 stored in the usage management device 303. So, it is judged whether or not they correspond completely on a one-to-one basis. In addition, the determination unit 231 determines the number of each designated color in the plurality of second currency information obtained by the identification unit 230 and the case identification information of the case 100 stored in the usage management device 303 The number of each specified color in a plurality of pieces of second currency information related to is compared, and it is determined whether or not the numbers match for each specified color.

The determination unit 231 determines that the plurality of first monetary information obtained by the identification unit 230 and the plurality of first monetary information related to the case identification information of the case 100 stored in the usage management device 303 are 1 The case identification information of the corresponding case 100 completely corresponds to each other and is stored in the use management device 303 and the number of each specified color in the plurality of second currency information obtained by the identification unit 230 Case 100 is judged to pass if the number of each specified color in the plurality of second currency information related to is identical, and either of the plurality of first currency information does not match, or the plurality of first currency information does not match. 2. When the number of any of the specified colors in the currency information does not match, it is determined that the plurality of discarded coins C accommodated in the case 100 are disqualified.

In the case where any of the plurality of pieces of first money information does not match the stored information, or when the number of any of the designated colors in the pieces of second piece of money information does not match, a certain game item accommodated in case 100 It is conceivable that the currency C is counterfeit, or that the RFID tag 503 or side surface of a certain game currency C is damaged. That is, the judging unit 231 judges the authenticity/damage of all the abandoned money C existing in the case 100 and the number of copies for each value, thereby determining the plurality of abandoned money C accommodated in the case 100 (C). ) to determine whether the

(Fifth pass/fail decision method)

In the 5th pass/fail determination method, as shown in FIG. 17, the 1st money information and the 2nd money information in the same money C for game play are different information. In the example of FIG. 17 , individual identification information consisting of a number sequence is stored as first money information in the RFID tag 503 of the game money C, and on the side of game money C, as second money information. Information on the value of the money C for abandonment is provided in the form of a designated color in the designated color layer 501.

The RFID reader 221 reads the first currency information from the RFID tag 503 of the money C for game play and outputs it to the identification unit 230, and the visible light camera 226 reads the money information for game game C The side of the image is photographed and output to the identification unit 230, and the identification unit 230 analyzes the photographed image to specify the designated color as the second money information. In this case, in the identification unit 230, the correspondence between the plurality of first currency information and the plurality of second currency information is unclear.

In the usage management device 303, a correspondence relationship between the first money information and the second money information is stored. In the example of FIG. 17 , individual identification information for uniquely specifying the money C for game play and the specified color of the specified color layer 501 on the side, that is, information on the value of the money C for game game are associated, and individual By designating the identification information, the value of the abandoned currency (C) can be known. In addition, in the case of this example, the usage management device 303 does not need to store the combination of the first money information and the second money information for each case identification information. In other words, in this example, it is possible to inspect the money C for abandonment held in the case 100 without using the case identification information.

The determining unit 231 specifies, from the first monetary information stored in the usage management device 303, first monetary information corresponding to the first monetary information identified by the identifying unit 230, and the first monetary information Specifies second monetary information corresponding to , that is, value. The determining unit 231 performs this for all of the first monetary information identified by the identification unit 230, thereby determining each value in a plurality of second monetary information extracted from the usage management device 303 for one case. can get the number of

The determination unit 231 compares the number of each value obtained in this way with the number of each value in the second money information identified for the case 100 from the identification unit 230. The judging unit 231 judges a plurality of discarded coins C accommodated in the case 100 as pass if the numbers of respective values all match, and if the numbers of any of the values do not match, the corresponding A plurality of discarded coins C accommodated in the case 100 are judged to be disqualified.

The number of each value in the plurality of second currency information extracted from the usage management device 303 and the number of each value in the second currency information identified for the case 100 from the identification unit 230 As a case of mismatch, a case where a certain game money (C) contained in the case 100 is counterfeit or a case where the RFID tag 503 or side surface of a certain game money (C) is damaged can be considered. That is, the judging unit 231 judges the authenticity/damage of all the abandoned money C existing in the case 100 and the number of copies for each value, thereby determining the plurality of abandoned money C accommodated in the case 100 (C). ) to determine whether the

In addition, although not shown, in the case where the value of the money C for abandonment is stored as the first money information and the individual identification information of the money C for abandonment is stored as the second money information, the same as above You can decide whether or not you pass.

As mentioned above, although the 1st - 5th pass/fail determination method was demonstrated, you may employ|adopt the judgment part 231 combining the said pass/fail decision method. In addition to the pass/fail determination method described above, the determination unit 231 determines that the number of first currency information and second currency information read from the plurality of discarded coins C accommodated in the case 100 are both a predetermined number ( In this embodiment, when it is not 100), you may judge the some game money C accommodated in the said case 100 as disqualified.

The above first and second pass/fail judgment methods are pass/fail judgment methods that can be executed without using information stored in the use management device 303 installed in the game field P, and the inspection device in the factory F ( 200), and the third to fifth pass/fail judgment methods are pass/fail judgment methods using information stored in the usage management device 303 installed in the game field P, and are tested in the game field P. Although it is suitable to be executed in the apparatus 200, the inspection apparatus 200 in the game field P may employ the first or the second pass/fail determination method. When all inspection devices 200 in the storage field P employ a pass/fail decision method that does not use information stored in the usage management device 303 like the first or second pass/fail decision method, the usage management device (303) can be omitted.

In addition, the inspection device 200 of the game field P also inspects the case 100 containing the spent game money C, but in this case, the information of the game money to be accommodated in the case The first, second, or fifth pass/fail determination method that does not need to memorize can be employed.

Moreover, in the above embodiment, the money C for game has individual identification information and/or value information as the first money information and/or the second money information. Here, the individual identification information is information that uniquely specifies each currency for abandonment C, whereas the value information is information that can be duplicated with each other in a plurality of currencies for abandonment C, and each currency for abandonment uses It may also be referred to as information indicating a group to which it belongs (group information). In this embodiment, as the group information of the group to which this belongs, instead of or in addition to the value, for example, information on the production time, manufacturer, and/or used game field of the game money may be employed.

That is, both the first money information and the second money information may include individual identification information for identifying the money for game play, and both the first money information and the second money information indicate a group to which the money for play belongs. It may include group information indicating the game, and the first currency information may include individual identification information for identifying the currency for gaming, and the second currency information may include group information of a group to which the currency for gaming belongs. Alternatively, the first currency information may include group information of a group to which the currency for abandonment belongs, and the second currency information may include individual identification information for identifying the currency for abandonment.

<Display of pass/fail judgment results>

18 and 19 are diagrams showing examples of pass/fail result display screens showing the pass/fail judgment results in the judging unit 231. FIG. These pass/fail result display screens are generated by the computer 222 based on the pass/fail judgment results in the judgment section 231 and displayed on the display section 223.

It may be marked on the side of the dragon coin (C). In this case, the code information 505 by the mark (m) and the code information 505' of the number sequence may be printed with different inks. For example, the code information 505 by mark (m) may be printed with infrared responsive ink, and the code information 505' by numeral sequences may be printed with ultraviolet ray responsive ink. In this case, an infrared camera and an ultraviolet camera are prepared in order to photograph the side surface of the money C for abandonment, the code information 505 based on the mark m is read by the infrared camera, and the code by the number sequence is read by the ultraviolet camera. The information 505' may be read out.

Fig. 22 is a side cross-sectional view of another modified example of money C'' for abandonment. In the organic currency C'', a plurality of plastic layers of different colors are laminated, and a designated color layer (coloring layer) 501 is provided at least in the middle, and both sides of the designated color layer 501 in the middle are common. It has a multilayer structure in which color layers (white or light colored layers) 502 are laminated. The color of the common color layer 502 is preferably lighter than that of the designated color layer 501. In this way, in the game currency C'', a multi-layered structure is provided in which a designated color layer 501 is provided, and common color layers 502 are laminated on both sides of the middle designated color layer 501, as shown in FIG. As shown, by forming stripes in the stacking direction on the side surface and changing the color of the designated color layer 501 (red, green, yellow, blue, etc.) points, 100 points, 1000 points, etc.) can be specified.

Fig. 23 is a perspective view of stacked coins C'' for game, Fig. 24 is a side view of money C'' for game, and Fig. 25 is a plan view of money C'' for game. As shown in Fig. 23, the game currency C'' is printed 507 indicating the type (value) of the game money C'' on the surface (upper and lower surfaces) of the common color layer 502 ( 100 points, etc.) is performed, a transparent layer 504 is formed on the outermost layer, and each layer is thermally compressed to form a structure of at least five layers. These organic money (C′′) is made by using a thin and long plastic material, and each layer (designated color layer 501, common color layer 502, transparent layer 504) is placed in a row in a long state. It is formed by being compressed to form a close-contact state (such as a five-layer structure), and then punched out into a circular or rectangular shape by a press or the like. When punching with a press, dimensions of a punch and a die of a die for punching are designed, and R processing (rounded corners) is applied to the end of the outermost transparent layer 504.

Further, on the organic currency C'', a mark (m'') is formed on the surface of the common color layer 502 by UV ink or carbon black ink. This mark (m′′) indicates the authenticity of organic currency (C′′), and when exposed to ultraviolet rays (or infrared rays), the mark (m′′) becomes visible, and the combination of its shape and number confirms the authenticity. indicate A transparent layer 504 is thermally pressed or coated (coated) on the outermost layer so as to cover the print 507 and the mark m', but this transparent layer 504 is embossed, and organic money C' ′) is preventing them from adhering to each other.

The edge of the outermost transparent layer 504, which has been subjected to printing 507 (100 points or the like), is subjected to R processing (R), and in the punching step of coin for organic use (C''), the common color layer 502 The surface of the is deformed to prevent it from appearing on the side. In addition, the game money (C'') is prevented from damaging the other hand or other game money (C'') by the sharp ends.

As shown in Fig. 22, the designated color layer 501 may be formed of a plurality of layers (three layers in Fig. 22) colored in designated colors. Since a plurality of layers (three layers in FIG. 22) colored in a specified color are thermally compressed, the three-layer structure is not visible with the naked eye as shown in FIG. 22, and FIG. represents the third layer of Furthermore, in the middle layer of the three layers of the designated color layer 501, B is formed by partially cutting out, and the RIFD tag 503 is embedded therein.

As shown in Figs. 2, 21, and 22, since the organic money (C, C', C'') has a laminated multi-layer structure and has clearly formed stripes in the stacking direction on the side surface, conventionally Compared to chips, it becomes possible to easily and accurately measure the color (type of money for playing) and number of sheets of the designated color layer 501 by image analysis. Fig. 26 is a diagram showing an example of an image obtained by photographing stacked play money. As shown in Fig. 26, the designated color layer 501 can be clearly identified by photographing the side surface of the discard money C with the visible light camera 226. In addition, if an artificial intelligence utilization type computer or control system or deep learning (structure) technology is used for this image analysis, image analysis and judgment can be performed more accurately. Since artificial intelligence-based computers or control systems and deep learning (structure) technologies are already known and available to those skilled in the art, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.
